今天对自由民主最严重的威胁不是来自共产主义或法西斯主义等敌对意识形态，而是来自内部——来自民粹主义的兴起和民主规范的侵蚀。
The most significant threat to liberal democracy today is not from rival ideologies like communism or fascism, but from within—from the rise of populism and the erosion of democratic norms.

As a kid， I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills， vaccinate cattle， and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon， especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club， a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers， we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car， and off we'd go， in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip， I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips， and I hated the smell.
